My Space-Time System

Chapter 553 Behind the blockade (Part 2)

[This is your last chance to change your decision, are you certain about this? With the attack on the prison, they would most likely end the case and free you quicker than expected.] The system tried to convince him.

‘That would be the logical outcome, but nothing about this case is logical. In fact, this would even be another opportunity to detain me for a longer period. Just face it, there is nothing left for me here.’ Blake steeled his resolve.

[What about your friends? You can always leave the Ash Corps after this and still remain on good terms with the empire.] The system argued.

‘And when is that?’ Blake asked but the system remained quiet.

‘Not joining the League now would be a missed opportunity. Rather than being ruled by people actively working against me.’

‘As for my friends, I love them but…’ Blake paused as he was about to make a tough decision. ‘I love my mom more.’

With that said, the system knew that Blake had made a decision and won’t be retracting it.

As the Captain led Blake into the Administrative wing, they passed the corridor that led to the warp array room; with just a look Blake already knew its spatial coordinates.

“It would be great if you helped us contain the prisoners.” With a hint of plea in his tone, the captain gestured for him to enter when they got to the door of an office.

“It would have been great if I wasn’t detained in the first place.” Blake entered the room without caring about the captain’s reaction.

‘True.’ With regret, the captain shook his head. Although Blake was being petty, he knew he would do the same if he were in his shoes.

With the door closed, and the captain off to the administrative wing entrance, Blake took out his map from his dimensional pocket.

“Let’s do this.” Blake let out a long sigh as he saw the warp room empty, and 4 people left at the prison’s entrance.

He opened a spatial corridor below him and began sinking.

…

When the other cities were being attacked by the League of Assassins, almost all ancient family descendants in Calton were sent out to different cities. 𝐞𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.

Only 4 very important members of the empire’s ancestral families were left in Calton, this was because they had no idea of why the League were attacking, making them think that there was a possibility that they were the real targets.

So it was deemed too risky to send them out of Calton, but that meant they had no excuse not to respond to the prison break.

The 4 descendants included Damon, Reeves from the royal family, Thalia a newly advanced demigod from the Frostborne family, and Orion a newly advanced demigod from the Blackthorn family.

While the rest were not happy involving themselves in the business of the Ash Corps, Damon was a little bit excited because this was an opportunity for him to see Blake after a long while.

“I heard that the High-Security wing has very strong inmates?” Damon asked as they all moved to the ground floor.

“Yes, but it’s nothing we can’t handle.” Reeves answered while Thalia and Orion didn’t bother to look at him.

‘Hope he is safe.’ Damon thought to himself.

When they arrived at the Aetherhold Penitentiary, they saw Ash Corps being warped to different parts of the prison causing Reeves to shake his head.

“Because there are no commanding officers doesn’t mean you all should act like brainless fowls!” Reeves screamed at the Ash Corps.

“Going in one after another wouldn’t yield any result. Form a blockade here and move in large groups into the corridors!” Reeves was even more annoyed.

“While you guys sweep the corridors, 5 of us would mount the entrance in case anyone breaches the other parts and warp here. If any of your teams meet anyone strong inform us and we will be there.” Thalia said and it made sense to them, but they had no clue that this was her trying to do as less as possible.

It didn’t take long for the blockade to reach a large number before moving out, leaving only the 4 of them at the entrance.

“That was easier than I thought.” Thaila chuckled, but that was when the warp array lit up and Blake appeared.

On appearing, Blake looked straight at the entrance and saw Thalia who had flowing locks of silver hair and striking blue eyes. To her left was a towering and strong Orion who had a mane of golden-brown hair and eyes.

In front was the Reeves, the demigod he had encountered on his first mission as an adventurer, and to his right was Damon who he wished wasn’t there.

“Blake, what are you doing here?” Damon was surprised, confused and glad at the same time.

“He is trying to escape.” Thalia frowned, and almost immediately Blake threw a void dagger at the portal behind her.

“Nice Try.” Thalia grinned as she caught the void dagger and froze it before shattering it into pieces.

“I have read all about you, I must say you are quite interesting for a commoner.”

Without uttering a word or showing any emotions, Blake released Ebony and Ivory into their Haiti and Skoll form.

Awoo!

The wolves howled angrily, emanating fierce auras that made Reeves, Thalia and Orion frown and assume their combat stance.

Without waiting for Blake to make a move, Thalia unleashed a blast of frost breath, commanding, “Take him out!” However, just as the attack was about to hit its target, the blue patterns on Ebony suddenly lit up and redirected the trajectory of the attack to Reeves who was coming from the side.

Without thinking, Reeves conjured scorching golden flames to counter the ice breath, however, out of nowhere its intensity drastically plummeted.

BOOM!

Reeves was sent flying into the wall, but almost immediately he was out of the hole in the wall. On him was a black and gold armour with a golden halo enveloping him.

“You will pay for that mutt!” Reeves cursed at Ebony who was responsible for his flames diminishing.
